I think you need to stick more to existing standards. Location: US is really big. It's a good idea to stick with ISO country codes but maybe use an optional state/province and zip code to make it more specific? Date/time: the

Relying on a passphrase only is not good enough. Enter it once on a compromised system and it's game over. Since your ID is tied to your passphrase you even have an issue and you will need to revoke your public key. Many years ago, peo

This actually makes sense, since the CNAME does not only replace A records, but any record. Not just MX but your NS and SOA records as well. Much less intuitive is the fact that a MX record cannot refer to a record that is a CNAME itself.

Given the fact that a very large part of the web in 2014 consists of user-generated content, it seems like pretty much every hyperlink should be nofollow. It's pretty much impossible to get good rel=follow links nowadays. My startup ha

There is not much evidence of commercial espionage indeed. But it's not about company's laundry. It's about the laundry of the users, stored by the company. If NSA access to that hits the press, a EU company will lose a lot o

Why not provide early access to new features to technical people who don't mind to be on the bleeding edge? That would be a sword cutting on two edges since you'll get high quality feedback in an early stage.
